Sen. Wise invites Jamestown, Cumberland 5th graders to capitol

By John Cox

Frankfort, KY (5 Mar 2018) - Senate Education Committee Chairman Senator Max Wise (R-Campbellsville) will be sponsoring a field trip for Jamestown Elementary and Cumberland County Elementary 5th graders to Frankfort this month.



"As an educator, I'd like to show my appreciation for school staff in Senate District 16 and all they do to ensure each and every student receives a quality education in an environment that promotes creative and critical thinking," said Senator Wise. "My Senate district, as well as many others, struggles economically, and helping to assist with travel expenses will allow 5th graders the opportunity to visit the capitol and get a first-hand experience of their state government in action.

"Most of our public schools have faced budget cuts, and field trips are low on the list of priorities. That is why I contacted each school district back home to offer assistance for elementary schools in my district by covering transportation costs to Frankfort."

Senator Wise sent the sponsorship letter to the school districts in September in preparation for the trip. Jamestown Elementary plans to meet Senator Wise on Tuesday, March 6, while Cumberland County Elementary will visit March 19. The students will tour the State Capitol, visit the History Center, and meet with a number of elected officials. - John Cox, Legislative Research Commission, State of Kentucky
